Peer Review Reminders

A Couple of Things to Keep in Mind

Let's go!

Summary

The goal of peer review is not just to give general feedback, but to help improve your partner's paper (and yours as well!) This presentation will help you remember some of the important guidelines of peer review and provide strategies to implement in your own peer reviews.

'Good paper!' I wouldn't change a thing!' - Unknown Students

What are some things you've been told in the past during peer review? Does it seem to be just surface-level feedback?

You have a lot of comma splices.

Does the ordering of your papargraphs and thoughts make sense to a reader?

Reflect on the type of support your use, if it is appropiate, and if it is enough for your audience to believe you.

Consider things with the clarity of your focus (thesis) and the clarity of language and word choice for your audience.

A Checklist:

  • Outlining is key; look at abstracts; transitions; etc
  • Check for clarity--does it all make sense? Title, thesis, beginning/ending, paragraphs and connections
  • Should have a clear point
  • How is your thesis measuring up?
  • Is it too narrow or broad?
  • How does the beginning draw the reader and in
  • What about the ending?
  • Consider the support you provide with your writing
  • Does it support what you’re trying to read? Do you feel that your readers have a good understanding of the subject?
  • Consider evidence? Look at definitions, comparisons, narration, and other strategies

Read from the perspective of an interested and unknown reader with a peer review.

Ask questions if you are unclear.

Goal of Peer Review

Read from the perspective of an interested reader Offer suggestions on how to change something if you come across something that can be fixed

Goal is constructive criticism.

Additional Considerations:

  • Clear thesis and adequate support? How’s your ending and conclusion?
  • Do you have clear organization? Do you have transitions and good phrasing to help show the flow of thought?
  • Can you tell the stance? Is it consistent?
  • How does it engage with the audience? Good or is it lacking? Can it be improved in anyway? Genre? Audience?
  • Anything that needs defining? Clarifying or explaining?
  • Do you have an visual pieces involved?
  • How is the grammar, syntax, and sentence structure? Good transitions?
  • Is the language and content appropriate?

Now, it's your turn. Complete the required peer review!
